Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Again, I fully appreciate the levels of confidentiality you need to preserve, but in the mind of this committee or the Canadian public, we sometimes get the perception that there's a qualitative difference between a state-led, state-directed or state-owned attack and what comes out of the private sector or the underground world. Is there qualitatively an appreciable difference in those attacks? Does a nation-state have greater capacity to do us harm, or is that misplaced, in the sense that if we are fighting effectively against attacks that come out of the “private sector”, we are as equipped to fight off a state-led attack or a series of coordinated attacks?
